I hope you're enjoying your weekend. :o)
Today I want to share with you a hand lettered personalized birthday magnet I made for a friend crafter/blogger from Slovenia, Valentina. She is very creative and super friendly. :o)
How I made the magnet...
I cut a 2" diameter circle base from a Canson XL Mixed Media Paper.
I stamped an adorable Aries from Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' stamp set on the circle base and hand lettered word Aries in block letter handwriting style.

I prepared various hand lettered samples during my personal challenge Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2017 to color during a 7th 30 Day Coloring Challenge by Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker. This one also, but I colored it after Kathy's challenge. I went with same design and lettering style and made samples for entire Zodiac, but I didn't colored them. I still have a lot of unfinished samples from my personal challenge, some I messed up and still didn't write a wrap up post.... Spring brings laziness here on my blog. LOL :o)
Back to the magnet.... I colored the Aries in watercolor technique, using Distress Inks. Then I heat embossed in clear a gorgeous Hero Arts 'Reverse Constellation' background. I watercolored constellations with Distress Ink Mustard Seed and left the circle dry on air.
I cut a circle out of a magnet sheet with large scissors and glued it together with the colored circle using universal UHU glue. I pressed the magnet with a 32 cm x 32 cm, 1 cm thick glass plate and left it pressed for an hour.
As a finishing touch, I coated Aries's horns and hoofs and constellations with Clear Wink of Stella.
